Excavation by R Poulton of SCAU, for the Equitable Life Assurance Society, of the upstand at the rear of these buildings followed trial pitting by the GMVEU. Much modern disturbance was revealed but a number of 12th/13th/14th century pits survived. One such pit, of 12th/13th century date, appeared to be sealed by chalk rubble, which is presumed to be debris from the partial demolition of the medieval chamber below these properties. (321)

A watching brief by the GMVEU recorded earlier chalk block walls beneath the standing building. Pottery recovered from the site dates from the 12th-13th century, with some scratched ware sherds of the 11th century also being recovered. (300)

The GMVEU recorded chalk walling in the cellar, which appears to be of great thickness. It is suggested that this could be the remains of a corner tower to the castle. (300)

Fieldwalking by GAG, led by H Davies, of fields to the north of Manor Farm revealed a concentration of Romano-British and medieval pot. Bronze Age pottery and worked flints were also recovered.

Evaluation by SutAS, for the school, in advance of new building works. With the exception of a sherd of medieval pottery, no archaeological finds or features were located. However, the area had clearly been disturbed by previous development.

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU, for Charles Church South East, in advance of residential redevelopment. A large quantity of late 14th to 15th century whiteware pottery, including wasters, was recovered, suggesting a kiln site in the vicinity. (314)

A watching brief was maintained by G Pattison of SCAU, for Thames Water Utilities, on the works for a new pipeline. A concentration of late medieval pottery was identified at the eastern end of the route, close to South Lane, presumably indicating the presence of a kiln in the vicinity.

Evaluation by A Gollop of PCA of a site proposed for residential development, for Crest Homes, revealed a ploughsoil below modern makeup levels. The ploughsoil contained a couple of sherds of medieval pottery and may represent agricultural activity on the site from the medieval period onwards. No earlier archaeological features or finds were revealed.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU followed a geophysical survey by the Bartlett-Clark Consultancy, which had revealed a number of anomalies; both pieces of work were carried out for Epsom & Ewell Borough Council, who want additional information with which to interpret the palace site. Walls between the Privy Garden and the Wilderness were revealed, as were walls between the Orchard, the Wilderness and the Plain. A pit containing 12th-13th century pottery was revealed in one trial trench, probably associated with the settlement of Cuddington, removed c.1538 when Nonsuch Palace was built.
